Day of Peace
Today, September 21, is the time that Summer becomes Autumn. Sunny day though, here in Belgium. And the harvest of apples, pears, nuts and grapes started off three weeks ahead of time…
And it is also the UN International Day of Peace. For me I don’t focus on the big world peace, but on my own personal peace. In this regard this quote is just perfect:
“The art of peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the art of peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.”
Ushiba Sensai, founder of the martial art of Aikido, in “The Art of Peace”
